E rere te awa tupua

E rere te awa tupua

Mai i te kāhui maunga ki Tangaroa

Kia whakapiria mai, ko ngā piringā

Hinengakau, Tama ūpoko, Tupoho potiki e

Ko au te awa, Te awa ko au

E rere te awa tupua

Karakia - Te Kura

Te kura e x2

Te kura e huna

Te kura i tipua 

Te kura i tawhito

Te kura e tiki mai i Hawaiiki

Haumie 

Hui e

Taiki e

E hoki ana aku mahara

 

E hoki ana aku mahara ki ngā rā o mua

I noho ai te iwi I ngā tahatika o Ōroua

E rere rā I te nuku o te whenua

I te hōkitanga I runga rā o Ruahine

 

E hoki ana aku mahara ki ngā rā o mua

I noho ai te iwi I ngā tahatika o Ōroua

E rere rā I te nuku o te whenua

I tō hōkitanga I runga rā o Ruahine

 

(Chorus)

Te wai kaukau o ngā tupuna

Te wai horoi kaka o ngā kuia

Te ara i haere ai ngā waka o rātou mā

Te wai I kite ai I ngā mahi a te makimaki tamariki

Ko te riripi kōwhatu, te kauhoe, te ruruku,

Ko te korikori ngā mahi tamariki

 

E rere raa i te nuku o te whenua,

I too hokitanga, i runga raa, o Ruahine

 

E tangi ana aku mahara ki ēnei mahi o mua

Kia noho tonu ai i te iwi ki ngā tahatika o Ōroua.

Mōteatea

Taku Hōkioi noho hiwi maunga

 Mātakitaki ki te papa o te whenua,

tūpana te haere o te waewae tangata,

papatahi ki te pae o Kui Apakura.

He tauhou te uri o Maui

ka riro ki te kurupae ki Kauwhata e...i.

Nā kōrua, ko te kete Aroiti

i whakatū te tū o te Tūmatakuru

arahina te eke ki te korokoro a Tū,

ka tau ki te kauwhanga nui

o te umu pokapoka e...hei!

 

Ka tū ki te taumata tapu

i te kororangi ki te kururangi o te mārama.

Ka rere te uru pounamu ki te ātea

Ko wai koe? I ahu mai koe i whea?

 

Kua haere mokomoko mai koe,

kua haere kukupā mai rānei?

 

Ko wai rā te atua

Nāna koe i turaki ki raro?

 

Ko wai rā te atua

Nāna koe i werohia kia huri wheraka?

 

Mēnā he hoariri, ka māringi te toto.

Kīhai koe i ākina ki te parāoa,

kīhai koe i werohia ki te tao roa

 

ka mate atu rātou o mua,

ko te toto, he whero, he māwhero, he parauri.

Mēnā he hoa aroha, nau mai haramai

ki rō te pouwhare o Kauwhata e...hei!

 

Hipa mai koe i te huinga o te rau

ko te amo o Wehiwehi,

ko te amo o Tahuriwakanui,

Ko Hinepare ki te pare.

Ka paopao te pouwhare ki te ngutu toa,

ka tīkina te kōrero o te whare ki te ngutu māreikura.

Ko te taonga ka riro ko te rau huia

hei tikitiki mō te māhunga.

Ka noho ngā rau ki rō te pouwhare,

kohikohia hei taonga mō te waka huia

 

Tiakina mō te wā iti nei kei ngaro noa

Hei...Hā!
